In Our Time
ByPublisher Description
In Our Time has a curious history in that Earnest Hemingway released it in at least three different versions. The first edition (the 1924 Paris edition) was commissioned by Ezra Pound for Three Mountains Press and contains six prose vignettes. The collection explores loss, grief, separation, and alienation—topics Hemingway would never leave behind. Until Ezra Pound asked him to write this collection, Hemingway was primarily a writer of non-fiction. This collection would forever change that. Hemingway’s sparse style attracted attention immediately. The face of American fiction would never be the same.

“This early collection of drabbles and vignettes illustrates a number of Hemingway's stylistic staples in sub-page stories, best exemplifying Hemingway's Iceberg Style and his capacity to treat his writing as highlighting the experiences of his characters without needing to explicitly create or dictate a plot. Its length and function as a bit of a "crash course" on Hemingway's style and tropes makes this an easily recommendable collection.”

“I like the one with the horse race and the one with the kitty. Also the vignette where the bull gores the drunk matador, and the skiing one as well as the fly fishing one is pretty good, five stars, lots of good stuff here.”
